Proven performance in enterprises and government

A relentless focus on performance, security, and special tools over multiple releases continues to expand the range of solutions possible with Postgres Plus. Resource Manager prioritizes CPU and I/O, protecting important processes. This allows DBAs to limit resource consumption, preventing any single Postgres Plus process from monopolizing resources to the detriment of other processes. Recent partitioning improvements, linear read performance scaling up to 64 cores, optimized locking techniques, and multiple performance boosting features handle the largest OLTP loads for many commercial, U.S. government, and non-profit organizations of all sizes and missions. View a cross section of our customers.

NoSQL for the enterprise

Advanced Server’s powerful combination of unstructured and relational database technologies in a single enterprise database management system provides the freedom, flexibility and performance of handling unstructured and semi-structured data while preserving its long-term viability as enterprise information.

The document and key-value store features in Advanced server provide the advantages of new NoSQL technologies plus the ability to integrate them into traditional corporate data infrastructures without data silos, operational complexity, loss of data integrity, and risk. Read more about NoSQL for the Enterprise.

Every data center has a sweet spot for Postgres Plus Advanced Server®

Organizations of all sizes and types are cutting database costs wherever possible by deploying a capable low cost alternative to costly proprietary databases. This strategy reduces lock-in to a single vendor and gives IT managers more leverage when negotiating for lower costs. Controlling costs with expensive proprietary vendors has been proven with Linux for operating systems, Xen and KVM for virtualization and JBoss and Apache for middleware and is now being applied to databases. Compare costs with our online TCO calculator.

Database compatibility creates a larger sweet spot for savings!

EDB's compatibility technology helps cap, reduce, or eliminate Oracle® fees using multiple strategies, while preserving your investment in Oracle volume licensing, infrastructure, skills and practices. For over 9 years, EnterpriseDB has built a solid practice around helping customers just like you save money for their applications built around PL/SQL, OCI, and Pro*C.

Oracle migration tools convert your schema and many applications run with few changes. Customer conversions of their easy to migrate applications take days or a few weeks. EDB services like the Oracle Migration Assessment quickly identify high-payback applications and the Migration Factory can take 100% of the burden off your staff and realize savings sooner. Re-training is minimal because of the Oracle-like tools provided by Postgres Plus Advanced Server, so you staff can continue leveraging their Oracle knowledge and skills against a low cost open source based alternative. See the Ease of Migration tab to learn more.

Use EnterpriseDB's best practices to optimize your database mix for cost savings

There are many paths to finding and applying costs savings in your database portfolio including how you manage your existing volume license agreements. One method is moving existing and easy to migrate applications off their authorized volume licenses to Postgres Plus Advanced Server at a much lower cost. Then recycle the volume licenses to account for growth or hardware upgrades in your difficult to migrate or unqualified to migrate applications. A smart re-balancing of your database mix can result in you paying less in total fees with Postgres Plus Advanced Server than your current proprietary maintenance fees alone. Other strategies used by customers to deploy Postgres Plus Advanced Server include:

Building new OLTP and operational applications

Applying it to a class of applications based on specific criteria (SLAs, data size, concurrent users, etc.)

We can help you create a path forward

Our free Enterprise Enablement consultation will inventory your database portfolio and help you identify likely candidates for implementing Postgres Plus Advanced Server at a cost savings in the context of your business goals and current constraints. An inexpensive followup Migration Assessment service can then identify technical issues (if any) for each candidate application, map out a technical strategy for implementation, and estimate your costs savings allowing you to make informed decisions. Contact us for a consultation now.

World Class Performance

Postgres Plus Advanced Server® has a proven track record supporting large transactional systems for thousands of users world-wide and around the clock. It is built upon and integrates every release of the world's most advanced open source database, PostgreSQL. EDB engineers then work continuously with our enterprise users to add features, tools and solutions to meet our customers demanding standards.

Recent partitioning improvements, linear read performance scaling up to 64 cores, modern locking techniques, and multiple performance boosting features handle the largest OLTP loads produced by commercial, government, and non-profit organizations of all sizes and missions.

Advanced Security

No other open source based RDBMS protects your data as well as Advanced Server which provides integrated row level security, a module to guard against SQL injection attacks, enhanced auditing to meet compliance obligations, and protection of important server side code from unauthorized viewing.

Enterprise Developer Features

Developers are more productive using 19 proven function packages, complex data types that map cleanly to object oriented applications, nested tables, hierarchical queries, explicit transaction control in stored procedures and all in the language of their choice (e.g. Java, Python, C/C++ and more).

Enterprise DBA Features

DBAs get more control over their data with a CPU and I/O Resource Manager, centrally managed SQL injection guard utility, extensive catalog views, a high speed bulk loader, low level session and system wait diagnostics, and Postgres Enterprise Manager to monitor, manage and tune multiple databases efficiently across the enterprise.

Supported Platforms

A savings sweet spot

For over 9 years, EnterpriseDB has built a solid practice around reducing, capping or eliminating high Oracle costs with Postgres Plus Advanced Server's database compatibility, and simultaneously preserving your investment in Oracle volume licensing, infrastructure, skills and practices. We have helped customers just like you save money for their applications built around PL/SQL, OCI, and Pro*C. In spite of attractive licensing deals during a company’s database growth phase, many organizations regret the loss of control to manage costs that inevitably occurs a few years later. EnterpriseDB’s Postgres Plus Advanced Server with database compatibility for Oracle gives you cost savings options.

If you can't replace Oracle, you can control costs

For many customer applications Oracle simply cannot be replaced for various reasons including volume licensing, migration risk, and COTS applications certified to work with Oracle. However, you can still gain control over ever increasing expenses with various cost containment strategies.

One method is moving existing and easy to migrate applications off their authorized volume licenses to Postgres Plus Advanced Server at a much lower cost. Then recycle the volume licenses to account for growth or hardware upgrades in your difficult to migrate or unqualified to migrate applications. A smart re-balancing of your database mix can result in you paying less in total fees with Postgres Plus Advanced Server than your current proprietary maintenance fees alone.

When it comes to choosing which applications to migrate, you have many options. A sample of strategies used by our customers includes:

The second focus is on procedure processing; in additional to processing native PostgreSQL's PL/pgSQL, it also has a native parser for Oracle's PL/SQL. This includes Oracle syntax, function packages (e.g. DBMS_UTL, DBMS_RLS, and DBMS_PROFILER), user defined exceptions, named parameter notation, private synonyms, partitioning syntax, GOTO, Bulk Collect/Fetch/Bind, VARRAY, table() expressions, and more.

The next focus is on Oracle SQL extensions that are popular with users such as: decode(), the DUAL table, ROWNUM, Object Types and sub-types.

Application compatibility is the next focus with support for OCI and Pro*C as well as multiple library interfaces.

Finally, Advanced Server comes with tools critical to Oracle users with similar look and feel to minimize re-training. Examples of these tools include: EDB*Plus, EDB*Loader, EDB*Wrap and a stats pack like toolset for DBAs.

We make managing change easy

EDB understands that a technology change in your databases is far from trivial. That’s why we provide a comprehensive set of strategies, features, tools, and services to make a change as smooth as possible. EDB’s database compatibility addresses the software for schema, data, and code compatibility, as well as the people who use it by providing the same objects, syntax, extensions and tools they use today for an environment that feels very familiar. You can even replicate data bi-directionally from Postgres Plus Advanced Server making it extremely easy to integrate our low cost platform into your existing environment.

Customer conversions of their easy to migrate applications take only days or a few weeks. EDB services like the Migration Assessment for Oracle quickly identify high-payback applications to help you realize savings sooner.
